Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an integrated chromatography and tangential flow filtration device with switchable flow paths, belonging to the field of biopharmaceutical purification and separation technology. Background Technology

[0002] Chromatography is a technique for separating mixed components based on the difference in partition coefficients between the mobile and stationary phases. It is generally used for the analysis of organic compounds, metal ions, amino acids, etc. Tangential flow filtration is a technique for separating and purifying proteins and other biomolecules from mixtures such as cell culture media or lysates. It enables researchers in biochemistry, immunology, and microbiology to remove impurities while retaining the desired molecules. Chromatography and tangential flow filtration are two of the most commonly used purification techniques for biological macromolecules, and they have wide applications in the purification of antibodies, recombinant proteins, and viruses.

[0003] However, chromatography and tangential flow filtration technologies currently differ in their working principles, equipment flow paths, and operating software. To implement these two processes, both chromatography and tangential flow filtration devices are often required, necessitating the development of both purification processes. Both chromatography and tangential flow filtration require low-flow-rate equipment during the research and development phase. Once the process is scaled up for pilot production, higher-flow-rate equipment is needed. Since their tubing and sensor inner diameters are fixed, replacement with larger-flow-rate components or equipment is necessary, leading to a large number of required devices, significant space requirements, and high costs.

The various connecting pipes, sensors, and valves involved are all commonly used components recognized by those skilled in the art, and there are no special requirements for them in this application.

[0021] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment 1 provides an integrated chromatography and tangential flow filtration device with switchable flow paths. It employs a chromatography flow path structure, which includes a first pump body 1, a second pump body 2, a column position valve assembly 11, a detection sensor assembly 13, and a chromatography column 15. A first chromatography connecting pipe 22 is connected to the first end of the first pump body 1, and several first valves 3 are connected to the first chromatography connecting pipe 22. A second chromatography connecting pipe 23 is connected to the second end of the first pump body 1. A third chromatography connecting pipe 24 is connected to the first end of the second pump body 2, and several second valves 4 are connected to the third chromatography connecting pipe 24. The second pump body 2 has a fourth chromatography connecting pipe 25 connected to its second end. The fourth chromatography connecting pipe 25 is connected to the first end of the second chromatography connecting pipe 23. The fourth chromatography connecting pipe 25 is also equipped with a flow meter 5 and a first pressure sensor 6. The second end of the fourth chromatography connecting pipe 25 is divided into a first branch pipe 251 and a second branch pipe 252. The first end of the first branch pipe 251 is connected to a bubble trap 16. The second end of the first branch pipe 251 is connected to a detection sensor group 13 and a chromatography column 15 through a column position valve group 11.

[0022] Preferably, in the above structure: the first branch pipe 251 of the fourth chromatographic connecting pipe is also connected to a fourth valve 8 and a first normally closed valve 10 (the combined flow path enters the column position valve group 11 through the first normally closed valve 10), and the first branch pipe 251 of the fourth chromatographic connecting pipe located at both ends of the fourth valve 8 is respectively connected to a tenth chromatographic connecting pipe 30, and the tenth chromatographic connecting pipe 30 is connected to the bubble trap 16 through a double row of tenth chromatographic connecting pipes 30, and a fifth valve 9 is connected to each of the tenth chromatographic connecting pipes 30; the second branch pipe 252 of the fourth chromatographic connecting pipe is connected to a third valve 7.

[0026] The working principle of the chromatography flow path structure: By switching to the chromatography operation software to control the equipment components, the first pump body 1 and the second pump body 2 merge through the flow path to the fourth chromatography connecting pipe 25. The fluid can be controlled to enter the bubble trap (i.e., bypass) through the fourth valve 8 and two sets of fifth valves 9, and then enter the column position valve group 11. The combination of four single column position valves 111 controls the fluid to flow through the chromatography column 15 in the forward, reverse or bypass direction for chromatography operation.

After being processed by the chromatography column 15, it is detected by a detection sensor group 13 and then discharged through the sixth valve 14 (i.e., outlet valve).

[0027] like Figure 2As shown, this embodiment 2 provides another integrated chromatography and tangential flow filtration device with switchable flow paths, employing a tangential flow filtration flow path structure. The tangential flow filtration flow path structure includes a first pump body 1, a second pump body 2, a detection sensor group 13, and a circulation tank 17. The first end of the first pump body 1 is provided with several first valves 3, and the second end of the first pump body 1 is connected to the feed end of the circulation tank 17 via a first tangential flow filtration connecting pipe 31. The first end of the second pump body 2 is connected to a second tangential flow filtration connecting pipe 32, which is divided into a first branch pipe 321 and a second branch pipe 322. The second branch pipe 322 of the tangential flow filter connecting pipe is connected to the outlet end of the circulation tank 17. A second valve 4 is connected to the first branch pipe 321 of the second tangential flow filter connecting pipe, and a second valve 4 is connected to the second branch pipe 322 of the second tangential flow filter connecting pipe. The second end of the second pump body 2 is connected to a third tangential flow filter connecting pipe 33. The third tangential flow filter connecting pipe 33 is equipped with a flow meter 5 and a first pressure sensor 6. The third tangential flow filter connecting pipe 33 is also branched into a first branch pipe 331 of the third tangential flow filter connecting pipe. The second branch pipe 332, the first branch pipe 331 of the third tangential flow filter connecting pipe is also connected to a fourth valve 8 and a first normally closed valve 10, and the first branch pipe 331 of the third tangential flow filter connecting pipe located at both ends of the fourth valve 8 is respectively connected to a sixth tangential flow filter connecting pipe 36, and the detection sensor group 13 is connected through the double rows of the sixth tangential flow filter connecting pipes 36. Each of the sixth tangential flow filter connecting pipes 36 is connected to a fifth valve 9, and a membrane 18 is provided between the detection sensor group 13 and the fifth valve 9 through the sixth tangential flow filter connecting pipe 36; the return end of the circulation tank 17 is connected to a... A fourth tangential flow filter connecting pipe 34 is provided, on which a metering control valve 19, a second conductivity sensor 20, and a third pressure sensor 21 are sequentially connected. The fourth tangential flow filter connecting pipe 34 is further divided into a first branch pipe 341 and a second branch pipe 342. The first branch pipe 341 is connected to the detection sensor group 13, and the second branch pipe 342 is connected to the first branch pipe 331 of the third tangential flow filter connecting pipe, for circulating connection between the second pump body 2 and the circulation tank 17.

[0028] Preferably, in the above structure: a single-position valve 111 is connected to the first branch pipe 341 of the fourth tangential flow filter connecting pipe and the second branch pipe 342 of the fourth tangential flow filter connecting pipe, so as to control the fluid flow of different pipes through the single-position valve 111.

[0029] Preferably, in the above structure: the detection sensor group 13 in the tangential flow filter path structure is connected to the first branch pipe 341 of the fourth tangential flow filter connecting pipe through the fifth tangential flow filter connecting pipe 35, and a sixth valve 14 is connected to the fifth tangential flow filter connecting pipe 35.

[0030] Specifically, in the structure of the above-mentioned switchable flow path integrated chromatography and tangential flow filtration device, the detection sensor group 13 includes several first conductivity sensors 131, ultraviolet sensors 132, pH sensors 133 and second pressure sensors 134, so as to detect fluid parameters for drug quality monitoring and regulation.

[0031] The working principle of the tangential flow filtration flow path structure: By switching to the tangential flow filtration operation software for equipment component control, the first pump body 1 (i.e., the replenishment pump) selectively replenishes fluid into the circulation tank 17 through multiple first valves 3 (i.e., inlet valves); the second pump body 2 (i.e., the feed pump) passes the fluid through the flow meter 5 and the first pressure sensor 6, and then the fourth valve 8 and two sets of fifth valves 9 control the fluid to enter the membrane envelope 18 (or bypass). The first normally closed valve 10 and a single-position valve 111 control the fluid to flow back to the circulation tank 17, and the circulation tank 17 then refluxes the fluid. The metering control valve 19 at the end precisely controls and regulates the pressure of the fluid to ensure that the system pressure is maintained within the set range. The flow path at the outlet of the circulation tank 17 is detected by the detection sensor group 13 and discharged to the sixth valve 14 at the outlet. Alternatively, it can be circulated back to the circulation tank 17 through the single-position valve 111 set on the first branch pipe 341 of the fourth tangential flow filter connecting pipe. The fluid flow path can be opened and closed by the single-position valve 111 (or another standby single-position valve 111) set on the first branch pipe 331 of the third tangential flow filter connecting pipe to help the membrane 18 perform integrity testing.

[0032] The key technical aspect of this invention lies in its switchable flow path structure for chromatography and its tangential flow filtration structure. Figure 1 The focus is on showcasing the piping components and specific flow path structure involved in the chromatography flow path. Figure 2 The focus is on showcasing the piping components and specific structure of the tangential flow filtration system. By altering the size, quantity, and arrangement of the piping, valves, and sensors, the system achieves switching between chromatographic and flow filtration structures, enabling dual-purpose operation and shared basic components. For the various connecting pipes, sensors, and valves required for the flow path, those skilled in the art can perform conventional setups based on existing technology; this application does not have special requirements regarding model selection or combination.

[0033] As can be seen from the above description, compared with the prior art, after adopting the technical solution of this utility model, the chromatography and tangential flow filtration systems are integrated into the same device. By switching the flow path structure, the process development work that originally required two devices can be completed, realizing dual-purpose use of one machine, improving the utilization rate of the device, saving resources and reducing waste, and effectively saving experimental space. Moreover, the types and quantities of flow pipelines, valves and detection sensors can be changed according to the process development requirements of chromatography or tangential flow filtration, thereby adjusting the upper limit value of the working flow rate. This can meet various application scenarios from small-scale development to pilot-scale amplification, maximizing the working range and application scenarios of the device. Furthermore, the replaced flow pipelines, valves or detection sensors are all disposable flow path consumables that can be directly discarded after use, so as to save cleaning time, manpower and verification costs in pilot production.
